Photographers Comments
Bagged a few shots of these two animated chaps .... animated that is until a couple of women stopped for a quick puff. The guys stared in anticipation but were roundly ignored. I looked away for a few mins the the ladies were gone ... wish Id managed to get the shot of them leaving. Would have made a nice set

I LOVE this shot..in fact, I have this huge grin on my face. Man!..this is definately telling a story. There is nothing in the middle of the composition except palable emotion; filling up the imaginary space of an arrow. If I caught this I would be so jubliant

TVM for all your positive comments. Fay, I love you

I find it difficult to point the camera at people (at least strangers in the street), feel I'm sort of intruding ... but it's something I'm trying to conquer. I don't like asking as it takes away the spontaneity somehow.

Well not me. At my age you're glad for anything you can get mate!

Cheers, Dave B.

As long as it's in public you can take what you like mate, you are being invited to intrude by the fact that they are in a public place.
